This page collects information on data analysis techniques used in fusion research.

Temporal analysis

Linear analysis

  • Correlation
  • Fourier analysis
  • Wavelet analysis
  • Conditional analysis
  • Probability distributions
  • Rescaled range or Hurst analysis; Structure functions

Non-linear analysis

Spatial analysis

Most of the techniques listed under 'temporal analysis' can of course be applied to spatial data.

Spatio-temporal analysis

Image analysis

  • Twodimensional Fourier analysis
  • Twodimensional wavelet analysis
  • Event detection using thresholding
  • Optical flow (for movies)

Integrated data analysis

The goal of integrated data analysis is to combine the information from a set of diagnostics providing complementary information in order to recover the best possible reconstruction of the actual state of the system subjected to measurement.
